How we ship
All orders are handed over to India Post for delivery. We currently offer two service levels at checkout:
Business Parcel (Standard, Default)
Our standard shipping method. Free on orders above ₹199; below that, the actual India Post Business Parcel rate for your order's weight is charged at checkout.
Speed Post (Faster, Optional)
If you'd like faster delivery, you can choose Speed Post at checkout. You only pay the difference between what Business Parcel would have cost for your order and the actual Speed Post rate — the Business Parcel cost is deducted from the Speed Post charge, so you're never paying for both.
We may add additional courier options in the future. Any new option will display its own price and estimated delivery window at checkout.
What we can promise — and what we can't
We hand over every order to India Post, ready for dispatch, within 2 working days of the order being placed.
Once the parcel is with India Post, delivery time follows India Post's own published service standards for the applicable service (Business Parcel or Speed Post) and destination. We do not set these transit times and cannot guarantee them — delays can occur due to weather, regional disruptions, remote destinations, or other circumstances outside our or India Post's control. If you're on a deadline, we recommend choosing Speed Post and checking India Post's current estimated transit times for your pin code before ordering.
Shipping Charges & Rate Card
Shipping charges for Business Parcel are calculated automatically based on the actual weight of your order, using India Post's published rate card. Speed Post charges are calculated the same way, using India Post's Speed Post rate card, with the Business Parcel-equivalent cost deducted.
